Alcoholism in Russia, why young people drink

For anybody not a secret that in Russia drink a lot! Young people drink, middle-aged people drink, old people drink until they give up the liver, kidneys or something. Some 150 years ago, our country was at the beginning of the list of non-drinking countries, and then we rolled down...

Why drink we have in the country? Every drinker gives his reason, but most often it is a problem with finances, lack of work that would normally be paid to push people to alcohol. Alcohol helps to lift the mood, forget about all the problems for a while and people take and take this "medicine" from all the problems over and over again.

We have little normal work in the region and to get a job, you need not only to be educated and smart, you also need to have connections, relatives who will help you get to an interesting job. In the Caucasus, kinship and relatives is of great importance to yourself to achieve something you have to be very clever, or expert, or to pay a bribe (it happens, alas).

Well, those who received higher education, but could not get a job, go to major cities, are arranged for positions that allow you to barely pay for housing, food and buy everything you need. About creating a family it does not even matter, because you will not be able to feed his wife and child, when the baby appears and the wife will go on leave to care for the child.

We have in the region drink too much, even the teachers, imagine that. Last time we were at the school said that a teacher is good, but he had trouble...But there is no one to replace it, because no one wants to go to work for a salary of $ 250.

Sometimes it seems to me that alcoholism is inherited, because in families where parents are born drinking children who drink enough and become alcoholics up to 30 years. Girls drink, guys drink, it is often unclear from whom relatively healthy children are born. And these children in most cases are taken to orphanages, because parents can not properly care for them and keep them.

Alcoholism is a disease that needs to be treated, people are too weak to cope with it on their own. Young people drink from boredom because it is fashionable because it sees it on TV because there is no normal work and income. Alas, parents often give up and give up trying to help them,they get tired of fighting for their children, and this is wrong.

Sick people, sick children, sick country... Several decades and in the country more than a half of the population can fall to the bottom. And this crime is on the increase, and the growth of diseases, and the decline of the economy. You need to think about it today, because then it may just be too late.
